There are a lot of left wing people in the south that don’t deserve to be left behind or ignored, and treating political campaigning and general efforts to improve things in the south like a waste of time and money only adds to the problem.
Georgia gave y’all the senate majority and you want to spit in their faces for it.
Georgia gave us the Senate? Nah, they are finally voting in their interest not everybody else's. So no they didn't go "oh guys here you go I was saving this gift just for you democrats.
No one wants to spit in their faces. It's just their responsibility to get out the votes.
Lots of liberal people in the South don't vote, and then they wonder why they lose. Local government has one of the biggest effects on people's lives and many people ignore it.
Lots of liberals in the south have had their vote suppressed so badly it's nearly impossible for them to vote. Long lines, and no time off for the working class forces people to not vote.
"Hard" is not the same as "impossible". Saying it's impossible to vote is an insult to people in the Civil Rights Movement who literally risked their lives for these basic rights.
It's a question of priorities. These are the states that allow early voting or voting by mail:
